Fear always attracts exactly what you fear. And if you are not afraid of anything, you become invisible. The best disguise is indifference. If you are truly indifferent, no one who could harm you will simply remember or think about you. "Chapaev and Emptiness"

God did not die, he went to nirvana. And now his galley is rowed by those who need it most. Those who have a "dream". Those who still want something from this life. There will always be enough such heroes - samsara consists of them. People, bro, have hair and nails. And God has us instead of hair and nails. For three thousand years, God has been begged to come back and give himself a manicure or a new hairstyle. Or at least want something so that his will will finally come true, but alas, alas, alas. God quietly whispers: Let it be... KGBT+

“You’re afraid, friend,” she said, “and that’s normal.” Even right. You have to be afraid of the unknown. But you can't let fear make your decisions for you. And speak in your voice. "Secret Views of Mount Fuji"

“Time” ended, but instead of eternity, first an announcer appeared on the screen, and then some tattered workshop, in the center of which gloomy workers in caps crowded Middlegame

- They accuse me of monotony. The books are said to be similar to each other. “My dear,” I said, “there are two types of writers, so you know.” Those who write one book all their lives - and those who write none all their lives. It is the latter who write reviews of the former, and not vice versa. And they reproach them for monotony. "iPhuck 10"

And suddenly I realized that God is the only soul in the world, and all other creatures are just mechanisms dancing in it, and He personally fills each of these mechanisms with Himself, and He enters into each of them entirely, for nothing is small to Him. "Pineapple water"

Sometimes they also chatter that there is a "world in general", which is one for everyone. I will answer. "The world in general" is a thought, and each head thinks about it differently. So everything in any case comes from ourselves. But it cannot be that I myself created such torment? From this I conclude that all this reasoning is only a poisonous bite of the mind, and the mind itself is like a beast guarding me, and it is mine only in the sense that it is assigned to me as a guard. Mortal speculation can never go further than this. They say that one should contemplate the blackness with lights until the one looking and the observed are mixed. Then the beast will cease to understand where you are, and will be visible with any movement. And then the road to the Light of Manitou will open, but I myself have not been there. SNUFF

Lots and lots of damn questions. And even more damned answers that are best kept in your mouth: you yourself know what time it is now. So, if there is a Beyonder in your soul, call him for help day and night, friend. For the path is difficult, the night is dark and the sky is bottomlessly black. But there are, of course, high rare stars in it. Live oh. But yes. iPhuck 10

It happens that there is something to hide - you load a person up, and your soul becomes lighter. Why is that? After all, nothing changes because of this - neither in your life nor in someone else’s. Secret. "The Sacred Book of the Werewolf"

- Tell me, Baron, why is everyone so afraid of you? - I could not resist. - I do not want to offend you, but in my opinion there is nothing scary in your appearance. - Not everyone sees the same thing as you, - the Baron answered. - I usually show myself to my friends as a St. Petersburg intellectual, which I really once was. But you should not draw conclusions about the fact that I really look like that. - And what do the others see then? - I will not bore you with details, - the Baron said. - I will only say that I have sharp sabers in all six of my hands. - Which of your appearances is real? - Unfortunately, I do not have a real one.

Try to remember what happens in a dream. No matter how absurd what happens later seems to the daytime mind, at night it always receives an explanation that is convincing in the logic of the dream - and the reliability of the perception is not questioned. "Journey to Eleusis"

Surreal seeing Ethereum all over the New York stock exchange today. I’ve dedicated the last 10 years of my life to this technology. Thank you @hunter @bitwise for bringing together some of us in the community to celebrate this historic moment with you and the industry.

“It seems to me that glamor promises a miracle.” You yourself said that the original meaning of this word means “witchcraft.” Isn't that why he is appreciated? “That’s right, glamor promises a miracle,” said Jehovah. - But this promise of a miracle masks the complete absence of the miraculous in life. Dressing up and disguise is not only a technology, but also the only real content of glamor. And discourse too. Empire "V"

It is very easy to tell someone else how to live and what to do. I would explain everything to anyone. And he would even show which lights to fly to and how. And if you have to do the same thing yourself, you sit still or fly in a completely different direction. "The Life of Insects"

“To understand where we are diving,” Ull answered, “we must first figure out where we are diving from.” I said that there is no afterlife, and I can repeat it. But there is no peace before the grave. There is a stream of experiences that makes up our experience. While you are alive, you receive new impressions every second through the organs of your body. The total sum of all impressions is your reality. A dead person is dead precisely because he no longer gains any experience. Its reality is no different from dreamless sleep. Does anyone remember their last dreamless sleep? Batman Apollo

The inner beauty that the teacher spoke about was in circulation, but the demand for it was about the same as for Christmas trees after the New Year. If it were otherwise, spirit salons would open in place of beauty parlors. But external beauty was taken everywhere and at once. "Secret Views of Mount Fuji"
